Beginning of 2012

I have had a little break from my blog while I was busy up to Christmas and enjoying a quiet holiday after.

I didn't really get the things done that I wanted to for the Christmas challenge, but I did do other things.

I made a gingerbread house with a group of mums from the girls school. I was happy to be invited along to join in to their group.

I also knitted a pillow for christmas from the Debbie Bliss magazine. It is lovely but not photographed yet.

I am working on a cross stitch with Christmas words on it. I'm about half way through it now. It has been a while since I have done a cross stitch and I really enjoy following along with the pattern and having a project to work on in front of the TV.

We went to the Carols in the domain with a few families. The girls loved the fireworks the most.

Lastly I am crocheting a blanket for my new nephew who is arriving some time next month.

I chose two colours of the Debbie Bliss baby cashmerino and it is lovely.

I am looking forward to this year, I have enrolled in a uni course so I can teach here in NSW. Hopefully I can complete the papers this year and be teaching next year. My three year NZ degree is not enough to meet the four year requirement.

About Me

I'm a mum of two small monkeys and work part time. I also have a wonderful husband who must wonder why I am always on the go with something new. I'll give any craft a go, but love sewing, knitting and quilting.
